Feels like less Women identify as one.

I’ve noticed less and less women identifying as feminists and I wonder why? It’s sad that something advocating for our rights has somehow lost popularity

I think that "Feminism" itself has lost its way. I was at College (in England) when Germaine Greer published "The Female Eunuch" which had a huge impact; if I remember correctly it was in "Spare Rib" where the enduring quote "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" originated. Alongside the serious purpose of aiming for equality there was also wry humour. Fast forward from the early 1970s to the 21st Century and what does one see: pioneers like Germaine Greer being denied a platform at many universities because today's sisters don't like what she has to say. [i]Her [/i]message hasn't changed - but so many are too fucking stupid to recognise her wisdom.
